Muslim political science professor Salim Mansur and Catholic philosophy professor Peter Simpsondiscuss what appears to be the ongoing demise of political liberalism.
Alexander Dugin, among others, has been celebrating the Trump regime’s cartoonish antics as proof that liberalism is on its proverbial deathbead. Is liberalism really dying? And if so, is that a good thing? Are neoconservatives, who have done so much to torpedo liberalism, even worse than liberals? Is there a better alternative? If so, might it be found in the great religious traditions?
